Blasting and Peening Services Specifications

Help with Blasting and Peening Services specifications:

Capabilities

	Your choices are...
	Abrasive Blasting		Blasting or abrasive blast cleaning uses power spraying or a tumble chamber to remove all of a metal's visible rust, mill scale, paint and contaminants. It leaves the metal uniformly white or gray in appearance.
	Dry Ice Blasting		Dry ice blasting uses frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets or grit to clean or prepare surface. The grits evaporate into gaseous CO2 eliminating the need for grit clean up or reprocessing.
	Sandblasting		Sandblasting involves bombarding abrasive media against the surface of a part to scrape, abrade or descale a surface so that further processing can take place. Sandblasting provides a roughened surface with undercuts that improve the adherence of subsequently applied thermal spray or organic coatings.
	Peening		In the shot peening process, smooth glass beads or metal shot are blasted at a surface to impart a compressive residual surface stress, which removes residual tensile surface stresses. Shot peening improves fatigue strength or performance under a high number of load cycles. Shafts or other components exposed to a high number of load cycles often require parts or materials with higher fatigue strength.
	Other		Other unlisted or unspecified forms of surface treatment.

Materials

	Material / Substrate
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		A bluish silver-white malleable ductile light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Carbide		Carbides include silicon carbide, tungsten carbide and titanium carbide as well as other compounds of a metal (Ti, W, Cr, and Zr) or metalloid (B, Si) and carbon. Carbides have excellent wear resistance and high hot hardness.
	Ceramic		Materials made of nonmetallic minerals, such as clay, that have been permanently hardened by firing at a high temperature. Most ceramics resist heat and chemicals.
	Composites		Composite materials typically consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous or continuous second phase.  The second phase may reinforce (strengthen or stiffen), alter electrical or magnetic properties or enhance wear or erosion resistance.
	Copper / Copper Alloys		A common reddish metallic element that is ductile and malleable and is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity.  Copper alloys are specified for applications where superior corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and good bearing surface qualities are desired.  All copper-base alloys are easily plated, brazed, soldered and machined.
	Glass		Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates that is usually transparent or translucent. It is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid.
	Steel / Steel Alloys		Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
	Iron / Cast Iron		Iron is a heavy, malleable, ductile, magnetic, silver-white metallic element.  The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed.
	Metal		Metals and alloys such as steel, copper, stainless steel as well as more exotic alloys such as titanium, zirconium, niobium, or palladium.
	Nickel / Nickel Alloys		Nickel and nickel alloys such as such as Monel®, Kovar®, Invar®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, Hastelloy®, and others. Monel, Inconel and Incoloy are registered trademarks of Special Metals Corporation.  Kovar and Invar are registered trademarks of Carpenter Technology. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International.
	Precious Metals		Relatively scarce, highly corrosion resistant, valuable metals found in periods 5 and 6 of the periodic table. They include ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold.
	Polymer (Plastic / Rubber)		Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments such as plastics, rubber and elastomers.
	Titanium		Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery, element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust.  It is known for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance.  For this reason it is used widely in the aerospace industry and the medical fields (e.g., replacement joints).  When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, it adds strength and oxidation resistance.
	Wood		Wood is often cut and dried for use as building material and fuel.
	Specialty / Other		Other, specialty, proprietary or unlisted material type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
